Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association (OREA) is a Pentecostal ministry started by the late faith healer and televangelist Oral Roberts and currently run by his son Richard Roberts.
Originally operating as a traveling revival with claims of curing the sick, in 1963 Oral Roberts University was founded by the ministry. In 2007 following a lawsuit involving Roberts, the school and the association's finances were separated.

“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine.

—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“That’s life. Whichever way you turn, fate sticks out a foot to trip you.”
